This is exactly right. I've never seen a one-on-one meeting schedule that was regularly upheld anyway. They are always postponed or put off as being less important and eventually we stop having them. I've never seen it last more than 4 months. You know what I like? Regularly having lunch with the team. And with the boss. Any issues can be talked about promptly. It should never wait until the weekly or monthly one on one. So many managers just don't know how to manage. Not saying that I do, but just having meetings isn't necessarily progress. Meeting is often the opposite of working. -- Tracy Reed
